208: I miss you! The female demon is training like crazy in her secret realm!

Xuanyuan Continent, the Far East of the Eastern Barrens.

This is a graveyard abandoned by time and space—the Immortal Burial Abyss.

Endless Chaos and violent turbulence interweave here into an eternal storm, tearing apart all Laws.

Legend has it that an ancient immortal fell here, and the resentment of their immortal body turned this world into an absolute forbidden zone for life.

Even if a Great Saint stepped inside, their Dao body and Divine Soul would be ground into nothingness in an instant.

In the deepest part of the Immortal Burial Abyss, on a pitch-black cliff where even light cannot reach.

An exquisitely beautiful figure sat cross-legged.

She wore a tattered Black Imperial Robe, her waterfall-like long hair draped loosely.

It was indeed Ye Linghan.

Her eyes were tightly shut, and her bewitchingly beautiful face displayed a heart-stopping paleness in the darkness.

Around her body, bolts of black lightning condensed from pure Laws of Destruction were overbearingly devouring the surrounding chaotic and violent space-time energy.

That violent energy, enough to make a Quasi-Emperor's Dao Heart collapse, was forcibly crushed and absorbed by an even more overbearing and unreasonable will the moment it entered her body.

Her aura was recovering at a terrifying speed.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Ye Linghan opened her eyes.

They were a pair of bewitching Phoenix eyes burning with dark red demonic flames.

There was no trace of emotion, only the absolute majesty of one looking down upon all living beings.

The moment she opened her eyes, the space-time turbulence that had been clamoring for billions of years in the Immortal Burial Abyss suddenly froze.

The thousands of storms fell silent all at once.

"Great Emperor Third Stage..."

Ye Linghan's red lips parted slightly, her voice lazy yet tinged with a hint of displeased hoarseness.

She examined the power within her body, which was more than ten times stronger than before, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

Too slow.

The recovery was still too slow.

The hundred-thousand-year Seal, along with the damned Heavenly Dao shackles of this world, had caused her Origin to suffer too severe a loss.

Relying solely on the scraps of this Immortal Burial Abyss was far from enough to return to the Peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm.

"Sigh..."

She let out a faint sigh, a trace of irritation belonging only to a supreme being flashing through her bewitching Phoenix eyes.

Then, a face that was impossibly handsome, with a lazy smile always hanging on the lips and an incredibly black-bellied heart, leaped into her mind without warning.

That Little Man named Su Chen.

That interesting toy who dared to call her a "Crazy Woman" in his diary.

That strange fellow who hid countless secrets, secrets even she couldn't see through.

"Little Husband..."

Ye Linghan subconsciously licked her dry red lips with the tip of her tongue.

The demonic flames in the depths of her eyes flickered more and more violently.

"I... miss you a little."

What she missed was that sense of "pleasure."

She missed his cowardly appearance—shocked, angry, yet not daring to resist—when she "judged" him.

That kind of fun was the only color in her hundred thousand years of loneliness.

"Hehe..."

At the thought of Su Chen's colorful inner monologue, Ye Linghan couldn't help but let out a low, charming laugh, dispelling the irritation caused by her slow cultivation.

"Forget it, better to recover my strength first."

"Once I recover a bit more strength, I'll go back and find you."

"At that time, I'll 'judge' you properly once more."

Ye Linghan stood up, her tattered imperial robe fluttering in the void wind, outlining curves sufficient to drive even gods and demons mad.

She glanced at the cliff beneath her, which had been drained of energy and was already beginning to collapse, her eyes full of disdain.

"The energy here is no longer enough."

Her gaze turned toward the deeper parts of the Immortal Burial Abyss.

Even her Divine Thought could not completely penetrate that core area shrouded in denser Chaos storms.

Rumor has it that the final obsession and immortal bones of the fallen Heavenly Immortal are suppressed in the center of that area.

"I hope... there's something there that can pique my interest."

Ye Linghan's figure flickered, turning into a streak of black light as she stepped into that forbidden zone as if strolling through a courtyard.

The terrifying space-time storms around her, enough to tear apart a Great Saint, were as docile as a stream before her.

Soon, she arrived before an incredibly massive black mountain range.

The entire mountain range emitted resentment and Death Qi so thick they wouldn't dissipate.

In the center of the mountain range, a bottomless rift valley gaped hideously.

From the bottom of the rift, there came faint roars of unwillingness and malice that had been suppressed for countless ages.

"Oh?"

Ye Linghan's footsteps stopped, and a trace of genuine interest finally ignited in those bewitching Phoenix eyes.

"Inside here... it seems an extraordinary little thing is being kept?"

She could feel an extremely powerful Soul being suppressed at the bottom of the rift.

The essence of that Soul was completely different from the creatures of the Xuanyuan Continent, filled with a cold, violent, and destructive aura from another world.

"Let me see what kind of toy... you actually are."

A cruel arc curled at the corner of Ye Linghan's mouth.

She extended a slender, jade-white finger and lightly tapped at the black mountain range suppressing the rift.
